American companies across finance, logistics and industrial sectors are shifting toward open‑ AI models that can be deployed on their own hardware, seeking to reduce reliance on costly proprietary APIs.
According to a PYMNTS.com report citing the Financial Times, references to “open‑” or “open‑source” AI models in corporate earnings calls and investor briefings rose sixfold in August and September compared with the same period in 2025. The data, sourced from research platform AlphaSense, shows a rapid uptick in executive interest.
The report names several firms that have publicly discussed the shift: PNC Financial Services, logistics provider CH Robinson, industrial conglomerate Siemens, and Tinder’s chief technology officer Vinay Kuruvila. Kuruvila said Tinder began routing non‑technical user queries to open‑ models after its AI spend jumped from $1 million in January to $10 million by July, and he wants to avoid another ten‑fold increase.
Open‑ models, unlike proprietary offerings from OpenAI (e.g., the Astra series) and Anthropic (Claude Fable), can be run on a company’s own servers, potentially lowering per‑query costs and eliminating recurring API fees. The report notes that while these models may lag behind the latest closed‑source versions in raw capability, they already cover roughly 90 % of the tasks most enterprises need.
The article also references a broader industry debate highlighted earlier by PYMNTS, framing the open versus closed source divide as primarily financial for middle‑market CFOs. Nvidia’s recent coalition, which calls for shared open infrastructure for AI defense, underscores a growing consensus that open resources can mitigate both cost and security concerns.

Por qué es importante
The move signals a broader cost‑driven re‑evaluation of AI strategy in the enterprise, highlighting the financial pressure of scaling proprietary large‑language‑model usage and the appeal of greater control over data and infrastructure.
Cost pressures are a key barrier to wider AI adoption; a ten‑fold spend increase reported by Tinder illustrates how quickly expenses can spiral when relying on proprietary APIs. By moving to open‑ models, firms can cap expenses, retain data sovereignty, and avoid vendor lock‑in.
The shift may accelerate the development of a more competitive AI ecosystem. If enterprises collectively invest in open‑ deployments, they could fund improvements that narrow the performance gap with closed‑source models, fostering innovation outside the dominant AI labs.
From a policy perspective, the trend aligns with calls for open AI infrastructure to improve security and transparency. Shared datasets, evaluation frameworks, and red‑team tools—advocated by Nvidia’s coalition—could become standard components of enterprise AI stacks, reducing systemic risk.
However, the transition also transfers responsibility for hardware, maintenance, and security to the adopting firms. Companies must assess whether they have the technical expertise and capital to manage these systems, especially as AI workloads expand beyond chatbots into finance, procurement, and compliance.
